Alex declined this PROD to be disruptive, as best I can tell. The individual is not notable. – Muboshgu (talk) 00:35, 20 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Keep FOUR straight league championships. Four. Not to mention being featured here, here among a myriad of others. He spent many years in the AAA and at least once was purchased by a major league club. It wouldn't surprise me if he was a phantom ballplayer at one point.

Keep - as noted, four league championships, and that equals distinct notability. In addition, a {{trout}} for the nominator for his assumption of bad faith and spamming AfD with "not notable" ballplayers who clearly are. - The Bushranger _{One ping only} 07:10, 20 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]
- I take issue with that. This individual is not "clearly" notable. While I nominated too many at once, I don't regret nominating this article individually. – Muboshgu (talk) 19:30, 20 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Keep per above. Spanneraol (talk) 14:30, 20 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Speedy Keep Four championships, That meets the required standard for WP:GNG, very notable, I will tag this for rescue. – Phoenix B 1of3 (talk) 19:26, 20 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]
- Since when do four minor league championships meet GNG? – Muboshgu (talk) 19:30, 20 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Nomination withdrawn per sourcing and WP:SNOW, despite some arguments I don't find valid. – Muboshgu (talk) 19:30, 20 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]
